Well, I'm just saying something doesn't add up. He said he beat a 600 HP GTR on E85, but theres a vid of me running a stock GTR (545 HP) and I trapped 146-150 MPH every time down the track (including that run and you can critique my shifts/racing "savvy" in the vid). But to beat the GTR he references, he'd have to be running 150+ MPH.

He actually said he lost to the 600hp GTR. With a tune and intake, I would take a guess he gained about 40-50rwhp. So he's probably in the high 400s in a lightweight sub 3200lbs car with ridiculous gearing and aerodynamics, it should be no surprise as to why he was on Terry's ass. Don't hate on the so called old man who knows a thing or two lol.

Speaking of your car sticky, is it going to run in my lifetime? Maybe you can sneak in to the ShiftSector event if its running well.

Ya, big comp can make big power with tons of octane. Lower comp gives more flexibility definitely but also less off-boost power.

It will run soon...

We can all have a meet one night. I still owe you a good run @terrry@bms

Man, I don't mean to rain on your parade but his car is very possible at doing what it did. At the last airstrip event I was hitting 150 in my car with the .45 mile not even a full half.I raced a z06 with intake and tune just like him and he trapped 160. Move to the 2.15 mark to watch me vs z06.

Another thing, your driving skills could improve a lot. Your shifts and not clean at all and take way too much time. This is how you drive a corvette.

If you look closer at my post I said I lost to the 600hp GTR by a car length. He got that probably a little after my 2-3 shift, and then we stayed dead even, just like my race with Terry's 135i. The reason I "backed out" of the race with your ZR1 is after asking you what speed you trapped (answer 145-150), I knew the race would be a little embarrassing for a new owner of a ZR1, as I was running 159-160 all day every race. My car hits 7000rpm in fourth right at the finish. I missed one shift all day (2-3) and that was the next to the last race of the day for me (I'm 60 years old and honestly was getting tired). And yes I'll hand it to a stock GTR in a roll race anytime. Maybe I do have the fastest "stock" ZO6, who knows, but I have been driving manual trannies since I was 10 years old, and yes I probably could school you in some "race savvy tips" if you'd like. I'll be at Coalinga Airport April 7th for Shift S3ctor event of the same (1/2 mile roll race), and I'll be glad to show you how fast I can go and how I do it.

That would all be close to correct. We all know dynos can vary,etc. My car did 460rwhp totally stock. I bought it used with 3900 miles from a dealer in Petaluma who new the owner. He was an old guy like me, who had quite a few nice cars. I think what happens is the old guys think "I'll buy the fast Corvette" but they don't realize how fast they are, and get scared, i.e., the low mileage after 4 and 1/2 years of ownership. (I wouldn't fall it that category.) We put on a Vararam CAI and tuned it with HP Tuners and it put down 503rwhp. Because the Vararam is actually a ram air device with a big scoop right behind the wide mouth grill of the ZO6, the car actually builds about a 1/2lb of boost over 100mph, and probably a little more the faster you go (just a guess). My tuner says he has never seen this with any other CAI. I'm not saying that's the answer to the cars speed, as personally, I think it's from the last line in the quote above!

Hell yea that boy can throw em! That's currently the fastest ZR1 I think.. Unless the record was just recently broken. You know how that sh*t goes though, blink and someone else has a better time or trap speed lol

Lol, well, thanks for "saving me the embarrassment," - guess we may never know (I will be out of town for ShiftSector, maybe we can catch Tony's next event, but I'd be curious to know how you push your skinny pedal down further than mine - I started in 2nd and was thru the gate in 5th (a bit) every run, I redline 6500 tho and we have the same tranny and diff) - but wasn't that the point of Saturday??? The thing is, you willingly backed out of the race then come here and talk sh!t on the internets... thats backwards.

Bash on my granny shifting all you want, I never said I was Ben Rhodes, its just really too bad Tony didnt have speed traps - All I had was a dash mounted Garmin NUVI GPS recording the "top speed" - maybe it was off. I beat the guy in the blue supercharged C5 vert and he also "said" he was trapping 160-165... Who knows.

So saying your driving wasn't as "capable" is talking $#@!e? Uhh...well, I'll leave it at that. And yes, as a fellow Vette owner, especially with the king of, I thought I would save you the embarrassment of having it handed to you by a basically stock underling. And the skinny pedal doesn't go any further down, but the harmony of the clutch and throttle does make a difference. I shift at 6500 also because the car is faster than going to 7000, but I do pull 7000 in 4th which gives me 159-160mph. So I guess I shouldn't have been scared of your 145-150 trap speed and "backed down", and gone ahead with the race. If we do meet up again it will happen.

Sounds like it could have been a good race though.

Sorry for the placement of my response, as somehow it got mixed with his quote! Computers!!!

My C also has a pump gas tune and stock internals. my car will be out there a few more weeks, maybe we can set something up if you get a stage 3 installed or find a stage 3 car for me to race.

Wow I didn't know the Weistec Stg 3 was pump on stock internals. Very impressed.

I probably wont do a Stg 3 build but I do know the Red Stg 3 ESS M3 in the vid I posted will be at the Shift Sector event in early April. Would be terrific to see you guys do a couple runs. It's a two day event and currently April 6th (Sat) is sold out but there are some spots for April 7 (Sun).

Yes, stock internal and pump tune but I had race fuel in the tank for the event. My CLK has Weistec pistons and rods, race gas tune, Weistec race ported heads and more boost than my C.

Greetings, I am Sean the owner of the SP Engineering 950R GT-R at the event.

Thank you sponsors especially Germanboost.com for allowing this event to happen, as well as Tony Lopez from Omega Motorsport Events for setting up the venue and putting it together. These events require significant effort and planning and induce much anxiety for those involved in organizing and I can't thank you guys enough for securing a place for all of us to push our cars in a safe and controlled environment. The runway conditions were near perfect, and thank you Tony for getting a sweeper to dust off the runway before the event.

I met some very cool owners and enthusiasts at the event and a great pleasure talking to you all, especially member JRCART here, the owner of the CLK AMG Black and one of my favorite cars there, the cleanly done white C63 AMG Black. Cool guy and a great sport!

There are some questions about my car's setup: it is running OEM turbo housings with upgraded cartridge with completely built bottom end and trans and I do daily drive it. This same SP Engineering setup from a fellow SPE client holds the GT-R 1/4-mile world record for fastest and quickest stock manifold and modified turbo GT-R at 9.16 and 159 mph.

At the NO FLY ZONE event, I consistently hit 183-185 mph at the 1/2 mile marker and pushed the car for more top speed, hitting 189 mph on the 20th run and finally 191 mph on the 21st and final run of the day.. those speeds were achieved after the 1/2 mile marker. We consumed a total of 15 gallons of race fuel for the event. What a blast!!

What is the wheel HP on the GTR?

Very familiar with SP-Engineering, thanks for coming out guys. Look forward to importboost.com soon
